SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Evangel junior Alyssa Amen of Omaha, Neb., was recently named Region IV representative for the Alpha Chi organization, placing her on the Alpha Chi National Council.

Amen was elected at the Alpha Chi Super-Regional Convention in Baltimore, Md., which took place March 22-24 and was attended by more than 400 students from seven AX regions. She will serve a two-year term from 2012-2014 as one of 22 council members. Amen also received a $500 scholarship from Region IV.

“As one of seven students on the AX National Council, I have the privilege and responsibility of voting on issues, voicing input and planning the 2013 national convention,” said Amen. “I am looking forward to working on this council to create a better experience for students at both the regional and national levels of AX.”

In addition, Alpha Chi Missouri Rho, Evangel’s AX chapter, received a Star Chapter Award and was nominated by Region IV to apply for the President’s Cup, the highest honor a chapter can receive. The chapter has received the award once before in 2009.
